anime eyes

All I have to say is why when adults are constantly telling children not to hold sharp objects because you could poke your eye out, why do most of the beauty products out there involve doing just that?

I got the full works from Kim Sun Young Hair and Makeup Studio: eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, fake lashes, eyelash curler, even a straight blade to trim my eyebrows right between the eyes. My left eye got so irritated it teared up. She pushed a few Q-tips to the corner of my eye so my tears wouldn't ruin the last 20 minutes working on them. To sit in the chair without jerking away is torture, a practice in meditation and control. This is why I would never be a model nor any other profession that would require this kind of thing day in, day out.

I must say they changed the look of my eyes completely. The Fiance called them Anime eyes, just like those Japanese shows. He said I could dress up in a schoolgirl outfit and be every geekboy's fantasy. Yeah, ok, geekboy!

I kept looking in the mirror the way I kept looking at my nails when they were painted, looking at this different face, this different look I was presenting. Wondered if that was still me. Wondered who I was really looking at. This girlie stuff has some getting used to.
